Member of Knesset Avi Dichter of Kadima warned on Saturday that Israel must prepare itself for an influx of Syrian Alawite refugees following the inevitable fall of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Speaking at an event at the Tel Aviv Museum on Saturday, Dichter explained that once Assad, an Alawite, is ousted from power, the country's Sunni majority will begin a mass execution of the minority Alawite sect.
